Amazing day in De Pijp
We had a fantastic food tour in Amsterdam with Elise! She was incredibly responsive and flexible, especially as we had a few last-minute flight changes. Elise’s knowledge of the neighborhood was impressive, and she introduced us to some amazing local cuisine while giving us a great insight into Dutch culture. Everything felt authentic and thoughtfully curated. I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a delicious and engaging way to experience the city!

Delightful Walking Tour of Amsterdam
We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Amsterdam with Annet. She took us to some more out-of-the-way places, as we requested. She is very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. Being a professional photographer, she pointed out unique photo ops along the way
She is very friendly and easy to converse with.
Highly recommend!

Absolutely yes!
Rolf is AWESOME!!! He was passionate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and so wonderfully welcoming! We toured as a family with him, with our 18 & 17 year old sons....Rolf really kept them engaged, interested, took their questions seriously. What I truly appreciated, and I know made such an impact on my boys, is Rolf related the world of Van Gogh and art to my kids everyday interests. My one son is a big football player and Rolf kept showing how this related to that... helping guide and think through what these artists must have been going through.....much like X in football.
My boys are still talking about it and seemed to really really have so much more knowledge and appreciation for Van Gogh then ever before. Thank you Rolf for such a great experience and giving so much of yourself to the arts and history!
